Khnum
I chose Khnum because he is the god of creating and innundation. The information I have retrieved says that he created people on his pottery wheel. Another fact about Khnum is that he is a man with the head of a curly horned ram.Khnum was also called Khnemu.He was a water god and that was very good for him because he crafted people and himself with Nile mud.
Khnum is the god of creating because in ancient Egyptian history, people believed that he had took mud from the banks of the Nile and put them on his potters' wheel and created man.Khnum was supposedly the protector of Khufu the Egyptian god. Before he became the god of creation, he was the god of the river.
Khnum's temple will have him sitting at a potters' wheel crafting a man and him sitting by the Nile. He will be invisible to man but is sitting next to them. Next to that will be a picture of him above Khufu while peasants and workers were building his pyramid, blessing him. Also in the center of the temple there will be a big potters wheel with half of a man on it and more clay next to him. In the East part of the temple will be Anubis' chapel. In the West part of the temple there will be a chapel for Osiris. Anubis and Osiris will be in his temple because they are the circle of life. Khnum is the god of creation, Anubis is the god of judgment, and Osiris is the god of the dead. Lastly, in the back of the temple there will be a giant picture of just Khnum alone next to the Nile.
